什么是IVC过滤器?

An inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a small metal device placed in the IVC, a large vein in the middle of the body. The vein brings blood from the lower part of your body to the heart and lungs. An IVC filter traps blood clots to keep them from moving from the legs to the heart or lungs.

Typically, providers treat deep vein thrombosis with blood-thinning medications. 然而, for patients who cannot take blood thinners or do not respond to them, we may place the filter into the inferior vena cava.

我们治疗的病症

We may place an IVC filter to treat conditions such as:

深静脉血栓(DVT): 在腿部形成血块. Part of a clot can break off and travel to the lungs.
肺栓塞(PE): A blood clot in the lungs, often traveling there from the legs. A PE blocks blood flow to the lungs and is a life-threatening medical emergency.

Our specialists may also offer treatment for issues affecting the IVC filter itself, including:

印度河流域文明迁移: This is when all or part of the filter moves to the heart and lungs.
IVC过滤器破裂: The legs of the IVC break off and can travel to other areas.
印度河流域文明血栓形成: Clots form in the IVC around the filter, blocking blood flow.
印度河流域文明阻塞: Occlusion occurs when the IVC becomes blocked by a blood clot (thrombosis) that’s been in place for a long time.
印度河流域文明渗透: This is when parts of the IVC filter work their way through the blood vessel wall.

我们提供的治疗

IVC filter specialists provide a variety of treatments, including:

血栓清除: We use endovascular techniques to remove clots in the IVC or pelvic veins. 我们的专家使用长, hollow tube (catheter) to reach blood vessels and safely deliver clot-busting medicines (thrombolysis) or extract blood clots (thrombectomy).

IVC过滤器放置: The interventional radiologist inserts a catheter through the neck or groin and guides it to the IVC. They inject a contrast dye into the vein to clearly view where to place the filter. Then they guide the filter through the catheter and position it in the optimal location. Once released, the filter expands and attaches to the blood vessel walls.

IVC过滤器拆卸: When an IVC filter is no longer necessary, our specialists use a variety of advanced techniques to remove it. Interventional radiologists insert a catheter into a vein in the neck or groin and guide it to the IVC. The filter has a small hook that allows the doctor to pull the filter up through the catheter to remove it. Most patients return home the same day as a filter removal.
